Middle East

The Middle East is in a state of upheaval that threatens critical American interests. Terror groups like ISIS, Hezbollah and Hamas are growing their power as Iran – the world’s biggest state-sponsor of terror – extends its influence around the region. Traditional American allies are embattled in conflicts against these terror groups. Woman, racial and religious minorities, and LGBTQ individuals face persecution and human rights violations. A tragic civil war in Syria, fueled by Iran and their allies Assad and Hezbollah, claims the lives of hundreds of thousands.
